This is a two-player Backgammon game, that is, it has no human-against-computer
mode. The two players can be sharing one computer's keyboard, mouse and
monitor, or can be using two computers networked together over the Internet
or any network with TCP/IP. No separate server is required - the game is
independent.
The game includes a help file suitable for players new to Backgammon
and experienced players.
I have included sound effects with the game. Of course, you will need a sound card and speakers for this feature to work on your system.
Displays on screen resolutions from 640 X 480 (normal VGA) upwards, and in 256 color mode or better. Requires Windows 95 or better, plus mouse. Network game play requires TCP/IP protocol.
